    Perennially popular with the chic set, Le Plein Soleil's restaurant has a smashing contemporary, creole look. But it's the inventive, beautifully executed menu that cements its well-deserved reputation. It continues to draw applause for the use of the latest techniques from France coupled with remarkable twists on local products. Take a long and leisurely lunch on the terrace, which has a hilltop sea view; by night the mood is romantic, the service fine, the music heady. Soups are like a mixed-media collage. A velouté can be the canvas for a ravioli made of foie gras or pineapple. For the evening's three-course prix-fixe dinner, a thick tuna steak often appears as a main course, but you'll always have a choice of five main courses, two of which are fresh lobster and a steak. Desserts are equally memorable.

    Although "le zandoli" is the creole term for the lowly gecko, there's nothing humble about the culinary presentation or the wildly colorful dining room here, which are as slick as anything you might encounter in Paris. The executive chef has worked in Michelin-starred restaurants in France and brings Southeast Asian techniques from his stint in Jakarta. At the start of the meal, an amuse-bouche or two will whet your appetite. The three-course, prix-fixe menu is continually evolving, affected by seasonal market finds and influenced by five continents—one common main is the fillet of beef with chanterelle mushrooms. One can opt for just two courses for a lower price. You may want to arrive for your dinner reservation early so that you can sit at the bar, which looks like an avant-garde movie set, and have a fanciful, fresh juice cocktail with tiny accoutrements. And in any given month there may be a reception and art exhibition, fashion show or a gala party.

    Those who loved chef Damien Pelé's restaurant Fleur de Sel are getting a sense of the differences between it and this new spot (named after the eponymous song by David Guetta) that has opened in the same location, a 19th-century maison bourgeoise just past the village of Trois Ilets. The menu includes many vegetarian options, the ingredients are organic, and the dishes are wildly colorful with extravagant presentations. A new dining terrace has been added in the garden, and manning a bar made from recycled wood and local bamboo is a flamboyant barman, Antoine, a true mixologist. Tapas are served from 5 pm. As there is a Latin ambience, start the party with a cucumber mojito!

    If perusing the Poterie Village, look no farther for a lunch spot or a tea break. This patisserie–salon de thé is on the right, as you first enter the village. In fact, you might make this your daytime go-to restaurant if you are staying in Trois Ilets. When you open the front door, the aromas of fresh-baked goods will have you pressing your finger against the glass display case, euros clutched in your left hand, just like a little kid. Lunch can be a quiche (many varieties), pizza, or creative sandwich, and if you clean your plate then you can be rewarded with a Viennoiserie. Only French butter is used and all products are made in an artisanal manner. Table seating but not waiter service as such.

    If you're looking for a seafront restaurant that specialized in conch and lobster, Obama’s is recommended. During lunchtime the alfresco terrace fills up mainly with French tourists supping on grilled lobster with either saltfish or black pudding or veggies, and a dessert. Aromas are drool-worthy with hints of lemon and melted butter. Main courses come with frites or rice, and some vegetables and greenery dressed with vinaigrette. There's plenty of Red Desperado (a local beer) and French rosé to wash it all down. The kitchen is across the street, as is the ice cream shop (with excellent tropical fruit flavors) and the Special Bar. Owner Patrick Henry put it together for his son who rocks it on weekends, with salsa on Friday nights. A 4-foot poster of Obama is the major work of art.

    After you ring the bell, someone will peek out (as in a speakeasy), and the front door of this landmark restaurant will open on a small shop selling French food items, chocolates, and fine wine. Behind the sales floor are two dining rooms, the first modern and whimsical, the second with murals of the French countryside and an impressive, domed skylight that compensates somewhat for the lack of windows. Meals begin with an amuse-bouche, such as coriander sorbet. One signature dish is duck breast Rossini (with foie gras) finished with a sauce of morels. Contemporary desserts complement such richness; mango pie topped with vanilla ice cream is Martinique's answer to our apple pie. The menu is the same for lunch and dinner, with not much in the way of light fare. It is likely the proprietress, Madame Clementine, will serve you well; it all makes for a most gracious experience.

    This special-occasion restaurant for the well-heeled offers innovative cuisine served in a contemporary, romantic setting, with a bevy of servers who try hard to please, but some diners feel that the menu is too limited. However, a new chef, Jordan Delamotte, has arrived from Paris and seems passionate about reinventing the Franco-Caribbean menu using local ingredients on his ever-changing menu. But you can usually find some preparation of red snapper and an exquisite chocolate soufflé. Start with a cocktail in the super-chic bar lined with old black-and-white photographs of the island; a simple 'ti punch gets an elaborate presentation. Although less glamorous, lunch at Campeche, the hotel's beach restaurant, is still a treat, and provides a more affordable alternative.

    This culinary experience necessitates a trip into the island's interior, down winding roads where the dense foliage is junglelike. It's best navigated, at least the first time, by day, so come for Sunday lunch. Martinican chef Jean-Charles Brédas is well known, having worked the better restaurants in Martinique and Manhattan. The tasteful decor includes taupe linen runners on long tables speckled with colored-glass bits; the ceramic plates are the creations of an esteemed local potter, Victor Anicet. The terrace dining room of this century-old house is covered by a peaked white awning. Bredas's mission is to preserve ancient saveurs (flavors), giving traditional island dishes and French classics a contemporary twist. The foie gras is perfectly executed and a signature appetizer. Tender, marinated beef tenderloin is a popular main course. If there aren't enough reservations for dinner, the restaurant will call all those who reserved to cancel. This is unlikely to happen on weekends, especially in winter season.

    Gregarious Joel Paladino is lovingly continuing a family culinary tradition with this little local spot in the island's northeastern reaches. You'll be impressed by the ocean views as well as the cuisine that his twin sisters prepare. Begin with deep-green callaloo soup with crab or delicious conch pie, then move on to grilled lobster (assuming you don't mind the splurge) or the rabbit (if you do). Some of the traditional creole dishes, such as stuffed pigeon, conch fricassee, and cochon au lait (suckling pig), are favorites for Sunday lunch. The restaurant is in the house and you have to walk through the yard, etc., but the food is authentic, and the warm hospitality genuine.

    This versatile brasserie on Fort-de-France's main drag offers a large open dining space and seating on a covered terrace with a view of the sea, though traffic, noise, and dust make eating inside a safer bet. For a light lunch you could have a savory crepe and a small salad, smoked marlin, fried Camembert, or a perfect burger. If you want to go with something more substantial, and creative, there's local octopus or duck in a citrusy sauce. Some waiters speak English, and most are fun and helpful. Foyaal serves from 7 am into the late night, 1:30 am, even on Sundays when most of the town is closed up. Try sitting at the bar; it's fun and for a lot of French expats, this is their "Cheers." Upstairs at Le Césaire is a more refined (and expensive) dining experience.

    This marriage of French island funkiness and South Beach gloss is one-of-a-kind in Martinique. So is charismatic owner Guy Ferdinand, a tall Martinican with curly, blond-streaked hair, who has made this a destination restaurant in the north coast's tiny town of Carbet. Smack on the beach, it's an ideal stopover if you're visiting nearby St-Pierre. So remember to wear your swimsuit, kick off your shoes, and order a perfect mojito. You can lounge on coral rubber chaises, shaded by umbrellas, and be sprayed intermittently with a gentle, cool mist. The appetizers—blue marlin tartare or fried flying fish right from the Carbet shore—are delicious, as are main courses such as the signature jumbo crayfish in a vanilla sauce. There's lobster on Friday nights, when local bands play. It's a scene. On the first Saturday of every month, a big beach party brings in DJs and no cover.

    This is one hotel restaurant that is not only surprisingly good but affordable. The menu changes nightly, but many items do find their way back regularly. The most economical choice is usually the menu du jour, a modestly priced prix fixe of three courses. A favorite appetizer is the salmon gravlax; among the main courses, shrimp and scallops never disappoint. Desserts range from an upside-down banana tart to a classic chocolate fondant. Lobster is always available—as a grilled half lobster with an assortment of sauces. Relatively small, but open-air and overlooking the dramatically lit pool, it is best for outside guests to reserve.

    Although the name may sound like a local eatery, it's actually quite an upscale setting serving cuisine raffinée. Sip an aperitif while listening to the mesmerizing music and admiring the view from the lounge decorated with African art (there's free Wi-Fi, too). Chef Jean-Paul Mahler has been the recipient of a number of culinary awards, and his à la carte menu has become increasingly inventive over the years. After your amuse-bouche, dig into luxurious dishes such as foie gras or roasted monkfish. Finish with a mirabelle and vanilla parfait. Lunch is served outdoors on the terrace and has a simpler, less pricey menu, including some salads, even one with smoked chicken.

    You may not expect a golf course to house a great restaurant, but once you're at this terraced, alfresco location, you will find yourself wowed as you look out on acres of rolling greens and the turquoise blue of the Caribbean beyond. The real accomplishment, however, is on the plates. This chef can elevate a torchon de foie gras or red snapper fillet to fine art. And the food is usually light enough to allow room for one of the rich and satisfying desserts. Theme nights, concerts, and musical entertainment are worth experiencing. Frederic Vasson, the main entertainer here, has opened L’Annex in Marin at the new port.
